Eddie Vedder has been a busy man, releasing Pearl Jam‘s newest album, Lightning Bolt, last October. He’s also been embarking on some lucrative solo gigs, including a 32-song set in Sao Paolo, Brazil, earlier this week.

“I’ll play this song, then I’ll go learn it,” the frontman quips before breaking into the all-acoustic number, which fans are dubbing “I Won’t Hold On.”

Though the bumps in the road are obvious — it’s a new tune, after all — the song certainly shows promise as a tender ballad, featuring expressive Vedder vocals posed against simple, steady acoustic guitar.
